The Relationship Between the Construction of Smart City and Residents' Subjective Well-Being: An Empirical Analysis Based on CFPS and CGSS Data

Based on CFPS, CGSS and government public open data, this paper establishes an evaluation system to assess smart city construction. Ordinary least square model (OLS model) and Ordered Probit model are used to explore the impact of smart city construction on residents' subjective well-being and gender difference from the perspective of humanism. The results show that the construction of smart city has a significantly positive impact on residents' well-being, while it affects the subjective well-being of male residents more than that of the female. By further establishing the mediation effect model to analyze the effect mechanism of smart city construction on residents' well-being, it is found that residents' income plays a partially mediating role in the influence of smart city construction on residents' subjective well-being.
